Evening Mist

Best pure glimpse of them all, the boats on the water emerging from a dream, emerging from sleep, those first seconds. The fog lingers on up the slope, where sits a ground cap and a flamingo-like pipe. This is, almost by default, the center of attention, yet my eyes dance back and forth between them and the evanescent boats. This isn't dizzying but rather pleasant. It's a quirky serenity to drift into.
One of two personal favorites of this challenge.

Perfect title. But cheerful, also, at least to my eyes. What a great foreground; now that I've seen these figures I can't imagine any others. A tight, evocative scene.

Terrific image of graphic elegance, simplicity and ,yes, also complexity. Joyous and whimsical. The yellow ball in the water that echoes the man's head is absolutely perfect. The colors work well together. I have to smile.
One of two personal favorites for this challenge.

A beautiful image, such a well-balanced pair of glimpses. They seem to be connected by the bokeh, which might be wonder, imagination and pure sympathy.

Dizzying phantasmagoria, a fascinating complex busyness of lines, tones and textures that invites you to swoop through it all. A salad bar of dreams. Wonderful framing around the corners. 10.

Rules, rules, rules. Guess they're often for the betterment of humanity, and for keeping photographic malfeasors in line, but this here is remarkable and lovely even if it flouts the law, you rebel you.

This is fabulous! We've been treated to many outstanding pictures in sumptuous color, and now here's a black and white that shows an over-all mastery. Thanks for the lesson on the lightening vignette.
